Kia Ceed 1.4 5dr (2012) CAR review

Kia Ceed 1.4 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Phil McNamara, 11 April 2012 09:29

Kia’s new Ceed hatchback – which goes on UK sale on 1 June 2012 – wants to make you doubt yourself. Should you really buy that Vauxhall Astra, Renault Megane, Toyota Auris or A.N.Other family hatch, when you could switch to the up-and-coming Korean brand? We’ve driven the entry-level 1.4-litre Ceed (or cee’d as Kia badges it in a crime ...

Audi A8 Hybrid (2012) CAR review

Lie back, and think of China. Relaxing in the back of this new Audi A8 Hybrid, amid all the luxurious trappings of smoothed chrome, deep leather and pin sharp sound systems, I ruminated on the likely buyer of this car. Mainly to take my mind off the bloody racket. So what's going on in the new Audi A8 Hybrid? There's ...

Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012) CAR review, 15 February 2012 09:00

In the UK, we still think of Hyundais as being cheap little runabouts and, really, that’s true – a large number were shifted during the scrappage incentive, and you rarely see anything bigger than an i30 on our roads. These days we are getting a taste of more upmarket, sportier things from the Korean maker, including the impressive i40 and, ...

VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Pulman, 02 February 2012 10:00

This is the Volkswagen Up, a little city car we’ve been excited about ever since the first rear-engined and rear-wheel drive concept was unveiled in 2007. Alas a layout akin to the original people’s car (the Beetle) proved too expensive to develop in the 21st century, so the production car is standard urban runabout fare – i.e. front-engined and front-wheel ...

Mini Roadster Cooper S (2012) CAR review

Mini Roadster Cooper S (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Pulman, 31 January 2012 09:00

This is the new Mini Roadster, and it’s the penultimate Mini model (the Countryman-based Paceman arrives in 2013) before a whole new range of baby Brits start to appear in 2014. The Roadster is a mix of what we already know, combining the more rakish windscreen of 2011’s controversial Coupe with the drop-top body of the Convertible. Is it any ...

Kia Rio 1.4 (2011) CAR review

Kia Rio 1.4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 17 October 2011 09:00

This is Kia’s new Rio, a B-segment rival for the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 207. It costs from £10,595 to £14,895 and comes with a choice of four engines: 1.25-litre and 1.4-litre petrols, and 1.1-litre three-cylinder or 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbodiesels. The three-cylinder diesel produces just 85g/km C02 and delivers 88mpg – better than any current internal ...

Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) riding with Rohrl

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

There's a special treat for Porschephiles in the new October 2011 issue of CAR Magazine: we've nabbed the first ride in the new 991-spec Porsche 911 - alongside rally ace Walter Rohrl. The new 911 is one of the highlights of 2012, and our European correspondent Georg Kacher spent two days riding shotgun with Rohrl around Alpine passes in the ...

Porsche Panamera Diesel (2011) CAR review

Porsche Panamera Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 22 July 2011 09:40

Just a few months after launching the Panamera petrol hybrid, Porsche is serving up an alternative maximum efficiency GT: the Panamera Diesel. It can, says Porsche, cover 745 miles on its 80-litre tank. If you’ve got a capacious bladder, an optional 100-litre tank is set to be an option too. The Panamera Diesel goes on sale from August 2011, and, ...

Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 VTI GT (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Mark Hamilton, 21 June 2011 07:00

The Peugeot 207 CC is the survivor of the supermini hardtop convertible class. Whilst the Daihatsu Copen, Nissan Micra C+C and Vauxhall Tigra have left new car price lists, the 207 has continued in production, selling almost 148,000 units worldwide between 2007 and 2010. In the meantime the funsize convertible market has welcomed a pair of retro rivals (the Mini ...

VW Sharan (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Al Suttie, 02 June 2011 13:00

The new VW Sharan slipped discretely into the MPV marketplace in 2010, replacing a people carrier that had been first launched in 1995. Back in the mid-90s, the Sharan was a product of a joint venture with Ford that saw the original Ford Galaxy, and the Seat Alhambra sharing the same platform. Ford went its own way in 2006, with ...
